Sky saying Spurs are now the favorites to sign Willian

Bale out then shirley

Was talking to someone yesterday who knows a few people that work at the club and he said a deal with Real for Bale was done 2 weeks ago.
If that's the case then why not announce it already? But yes it looks like we are getting ready for life without Bale.

Of course it's possible Cabaye himself said he wanted to be dropped because he's not "mentally right" after a derisory bid. Which of course is unprofessional.

but fair play to him if he wants to leave, to be fair we haven't shown any real ambition and the club is not going anywhere fast, it's just why does everything have to be a drama on the eve and day of a big game.

I don't get the outrage of the timing though. What are we supposed to do, only bid the day after a game or something? Yes, it unsettles a player, but that's the nature of having a transfer window still open after the season starts.

Do these bids really unsettle players? Does it stop them from giving their all? If so, they should be taken behind the stands and knee capped for being so unprofessional. Given what they get paid they shouldn't be losing it.
